Laverne Cox Praises Miley Cyrus' 'Epic Trans Moment' at VMAs

Reaction to Miley Cyrus' wild MTV Video Music Awards hosting gig has been mixed at best (just ask Nicki Minaj), but one major star is applauding her for giving a platform to LGBT youth.

"Love this epic trans moment onstage at this year's #VMAs," Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox wrote Tuesday night on Instagram, referring to Cyrus, 22, tapping her transgender friends to help present her performance in honor of the Happy Hippie Foundation during Sunday's show.
